High-scoring big joins high-ranked CSU basketball recruiting class

The best-ranked recruiting class in Colorado State men's basketball history has a late addition.

It comes in the form of a big (6-foot-10) playmaker from Iowa.

Keokuk High School's Jaxon Clark committed to the Rams on April 5.

The Iowa Class 3A Player of the Year is the fourth member of CSU's 2026 class.

Clark scored more than 1,600 career high school points, according to Muddy River Sports.

Clark averaged an eye-popping 27.9 points, 17.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, two blocks and 1.3 steals per game as a senior at Keokuk. He leaves as the program's all-time leading scorer.

Keokuk’s (Iowa) Jaxon Clark (24) reacts in a game in 2024. Clark has committed to the Colorado State men's basketball program.

Clark has reported offers from UTSA, Illinois State, Lehigh, St. Bonaventure and Bowling Green among others. He does not have a star ranking from 247Sports.

CSU's class of Clark, Gregory "Pops" Dunson (Georgia), Jaden Ghoreishi (Washington) and Eric Fiedler (Colorado) is the top-ranked class in CSU's history of 247 Sports history.

Clark is the 14th member of the 2026-27 roster as the Rams move into the Pac-12.

The Rams can have 15 players and the final slot is expected to go to a walk-on (likely a guard or wing player). Clark is likely a developmental prospect who could be a redshirt candidate for next season.
